I wonder how the FGS profile is used? I have read about the profile and how
the enhancement layer is divided in several bitplanes so the client can
choose how much it will use depending on available resources. But what is
included in these resources?
CPU-power? Yes this seems to logical if the client don't have the power to
show all the bitplanes it can show only some basic video stream.
Bandwidth on network? I don't see how FGS can be used here because if the
server send all the bitplanes to the server it may already use too much of
the bandwidth... The videostream must be cut on the server to minimize the
use of the network.
Or have I missed something important here?
